Dreams
FreeThe Bible, as well as other great books of historical and
revealed religion, shows traces of a general and
substantial belief in dreams. Plato, Goethe, Shakespeare
and Napoleon assigned to certain dreams prophetic
value. Joseph saw eleven stars of the Zodiac bow to
himself, the twelfth star. The famine of Egypt was
revealed by a vision of fat and lean cattle. The parents of
Christ were warned of the cruel edict of Herod, and fled
with the Divine Child into Egypt.
The ultimatum of all human decrees and wisdom is to
gratify the passions of the flesh at the expense of the
spirit. The prophets and those who have stood nearest
the fountain of universal knowledge used dreams with
more frequency than any other mode of divination.
